Training Peaks Virtual route for FTP test

[cadenceblur]

This is for Training Peaks Virtual users

Does anyone have a great route option on the above mentioned platform that you use for your FTP tests? 
I’m thinking something with a 3% or maybe a bit more gradient? 
The FTP test option in the app didn’t work so well, as I battled to settle on a wattage , trainer kept dropping the resistance, not sure if it’s user related🙈. 
I would therefore prefer a route that has some incline to assist in managing the effort with my gears .

The Easy Climb might be the closest to what you are looking for, but it is probably not long enough.

Theoretically, if you adjust the Slope Feel setting lower, and then use the Straight Up route, that should give you more than enough road to work with at a fairly steady resistance?

Just had a look, looks good.

 

haven't played with the slope feel settings - any suggestion. Excuse the ignorance

I generally don't use the platform, have it due to Premium account.

I only use TPV for the occasional free ride, or some races, so I just leave it at full.
So I'm really just guesstimating here.

That route has a few sections at 10-11%, so maybe try the Slope Feel at about 45%-50%? Then the steep bits should not bog you down too much, without making the rest too light.

edit:
* switch off ERG mode, if not disabled by the test
* go full zen mode because when you are breathing through your eyes you will not appreciate your surroundings
